First must be: National Association for Deafened People (an Organisation run by deafened people for deafened people) Highly recommended and they were really helpful to me in my research.

STAGETEXT provides captioning for theatres and other arts venues to provide access to live performances for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people. STAGETEXT was established in May 2000 by Peter Pullan, Merfyn Williams and Geoff Brown. Each has a different type of deafness and a determination to improve access to the performing arts for all deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people. For more information: http://www.stagetext.org/
